Young Galaxy - "Blown Minded"

We've posted videos from Canada's indie pop dream band Young Galaxy in the past (here and here).  And now we're back with a more recent video, for their track "Blown Minded."  Produced, animated, directed, and edited by French artist Carine Khalifé, the video takes us on a surreal journey of a non-descript person. The use of oils on glass gives a real dreamlike feel, and the use of it is a nice variation from a lot of the animation we typically run into.

The Art Of Tjalf Sparnaay

(Via)

Tjalf Sparnaay is a Dutch oil painter who's work falls under the realm of hyperrealism, and he is widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary artists in that movement today. What struck me was his reoccurring food subjects, painted with such attention to detail that they nearly look tangible. Did I also mention that Sparnaay is a self taught artist, honing his craft for over 20 years now?

Check out more of the Dutch artists incredible (And delicious) work after the break, and I highly recommend also checking his Facebook page, which features glances at the mind boggling scale of his paintings.
